You’ll enjoy hikes and other outdoor adventures, so a standard level of fitness and an adventurous mindset is preferred yet not essential. Be prepared for heat and humidity during the last days at the coast, but rest assured, there will be plenty of opportunities to unwind at scenic spots and comfortable hotels.
You might need to carry your bags occasionally, such as from parking to hotels, and navigate stairs and high steps at archaeological sites and in the van.
Mexico is a year-round paradise, but the ideal time for this adventure is from November to May when the weather is at its best—dry, cooler, and less humid. In Mexico City and Oaxaca, expect pleasant, sunny days with highs around 27°C and crisp evenings dipping to 10°C—perfect for exploring and hiking. Along Oaxaca’s coast, you’ll enjoy tropical warmth, with sunny skies and refreshing ocean breezes. Each region offers its seasonal magic! ☀️🏞️🌴
